On Saturday, September 27, 1969, two LAPD Homicide detectives, Steve Keller and Joe Rodriguez are called to 1025 Sunset Plaza Drive, the sprawling, Spanish style, Hollywood Hills home of tabloid-publisher, Randall Curtiss. Curtiss’ wife, Valerie has been found shot to death in the bathroom of the master bedroom. Curtiss is discovered in the family den, the victim of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. It becomes apparent that Curtiss was beset with heavy financial difficulties, coupled with the fact that his smarmy scandal sheet, Hollywood Confidential, has been hit with a $50-million libel suit. Screen actor, Gregg Chandler was suing Curtiss for defamation of character, invasion of privacy. The stage is set for the murder-suicide. However, following an intense investigation of the crime scene, which includes a ballistics report, and a phony suicide note, the detectives come to the conclusion that the murder-suicide was a “set-up”...that in actuality, the Curtisses were both murdered. Because of Curtiss’ affiliation with the notorious scandal magazine, a host of possible suspects emerges, including his ex-wife, Barbara; his business partner, Diane Walker; a sleazy paparazzi, Tony D’Amato; a competitor, Marty Schwimmer; a disgruntled and recently-fired employee, David Levine; a Mafia-connected hoodlum, Nick DiNapoli. Played against a background, where the Curtiss-Chandler trial is imminent, and surprising testimony from a dying associate of Randall Curtiss surfaces, the detectives’ investigation leads them into an intricate web of blackmail, deception and murder.
